Change Bandwidth

After creating a Layer 2 or Layer 3 connection, you can modify the bandwidth.

• For Layer 2 connection, go to Actions > Change Bandwidth Cap.

• For Layer 3 connection, expand the Cloud Router name, and click the access point that you want to operate. Change Access Bandwidth in Information tab.

When the public cloud is accessed, the bandwidth adjustment will need further attention.

Note

You can view the following contents to know about the cloud connect bandwidth.

• Configure Bandwidth Cap

• Configure Access Bandwidth

• AWS cloud connect bandwidth cap range: 50 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 200 Mbps, 300 Mbps, 400 Mbps, 500 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, 5 Gbps, and 10 Gbps.

• Alibaba Cloud cloud connect bandwidth cap range: 50 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 200 Mbps, 300 Mbps, 400 Mbps, 500 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, 5 Gbps, 8 Gbps and 10 Gbps.

If you change the bandwidth of a connection with AWS accessed, you can only adjust in a specified range based on the AWS cloud connect bandwidth cap range.

If you change the bandwidth of a connection with Alibaba Cloud accessed, you need to accept the connection again on public cloud if you change over its bandwidth cap range.

Example 1

Assume you have configured the bandwidth of your Layer 2 connection as 60 Mbps. You'll be charged:

• 100 Mbps AWS cloud connect fee

• 100 Mbps Alibaba cloud connect fee

• 60 Mbps L2 Private Connect bandwidth fee

As the AWS cloud connect bandwidth is set as 100 Mbps and cannot be changed over the bandwidth cap range, you can only change the L2 Private Connect bandwidth between 51 Mbps and 100 Mbps. Assume you change the bandwidth to 80 Mbps. You'll be charged:

• 100 Mbps AWS cloud connect fee

• 100 Mbps Alibaba cloud connect fee

• 80 Mbps L2 Private Connect bandwidth fee

Because 80 Mbps is still within the previous bandwidth cap range (50 Mbps - 100 Mbps) of Alibaba Cloud, you do not need to re-accept connection on Alibaba Cloud.

Example 2

Assume a Layer 3 connection with Alibaba Cloud as one access point. You have configured the access bandwidth of Alibaba Cloud as 60 Mbps.

As the Alibaba cloud connect bandwidth falls in 50 Mbps - 100 Mbps bandwidth cap range,

• if you change bandwidth with this bandwidth cap range, such as 80 Mbps, you do not need to re-accept connection on Alibaba Cloud;

• if you change bandwidth down or over this bandwidth cap range, such as 40 Mbps or 180 Mbps, you need to re-accept connection on Alibaba Cloud. See Alibaba Cloud Configuration for more details.
